A Week straight from the angry gods!

A mess is an understatement! lol! I have never moved furniture so quickly in my entire life! The problem is we were dumb strucked because we have never experienced anything like it, it is very unusual weather for us, we were scared silly! Yes we have insurance thank heavens, but you know them, there will be an investigation of note!

Reading your response and hearing of the house that caught fire, I have gone through nothing compare to them! Just glad they could get out in time! The weather all over the world is so screwed up lately!

tell me about it lol , I was offline one day because we needed a new battery for the laptop , not as comfy with the big PC , but house was shining lol , had plenty of time for housework xxx

The funny thing is, I was on the PC! I thought it was a bomb or Armageddon! A mess is an understatement! But all I could think of was I wouldn't be able to go on line! My MyLotting addiction is getting out of hand he said!

I have just checked out my home page, Oooh, what a lovely surprise. You've got such a kind heart. A big THANKYOU. (see, I told you my computers human.) Have a great day!

I was sitting behind the computer, when it happened and I thought OMG it is Armageddon! The whole pole came down and then it started rattling and all the water came through the sky light, we ran around like a 'hoender met 'n af kop' But all I could think of was to get the pole back so I could go on line. Needless to say my husband almost had a fit! He was glad it happened in a way because I spend the whole evening with him watching the Diana concert! We tuned in a bit late, because we had to move everything out, and he didn't want to watch it in the bedroom.

I'm sure it will. I want to tell you what happened to my husband about a month ago. He went outside to to fetch some paperwork that one of his workers dropped off at our house. Roundabout 15 minutes later he came back and was walking funny, I asked him what is wrong and he turned around, his jeans were soaking wet. (it was raining and the stairs were wet and slippery)I asked him if he had wee-weed in his pants! He said no he just fell flat on his azz and skidded down the stairs! 14 of them! I asked him my lord couldn't you have tried to stop your fall by grabbing the rails! He said no because he started going forward and tried to correct by swinging his arms, he swayed them so wildly, that his feet went straight under him, and off he went! Bumpedee bumpedeee! It was so funny, the guy that was at the end of the stairs thought Joep was going to bump into him, so he turned around and started running away! hie hie I laughed for weeks! Shame he broke his Coxix, and are still battling to sit down! His bum was blue for weeks, he looked like those apes with the blue bum's!

Reading the story of your grandmother, I feel ashamed, mine is nothing in comparison! But I must tell you I was a pain in the butt, I kept on urging him on, because I couldn't stand it not to have my computer on.

Don't feel ashamed. We are all attached to our computers because they keep us in touch with the people we care about.

Thanks for best response!

It is very strange weather we are having! It was unexpected indeed!

Thanks suscan I appreciate it. But at times it was quite funny, I walked around in that part of the house with an umbrella, and I was whining around my husbands ears like a naughty child, because I couldn't go online! He said to me "God women do you realize you've got a hole in your roof, and you are worried about MyLot!" He nearly had a fit! hie hie!

I think it all has to do with Global warming, we have screwed mother nature up big time! Whenever you switch on the TV, you hear of some havoc the weather has caused. We have never had weather like this ever!

I'm praying this hurricane season isn't a bad one. I've lived in Florida all my life and I've been truly blessed not to be harmed by the hurricanes. If it gets too bad, we are warned to evacuate before the storm hits. I'm having surgery in a few weeks and I pray there will be no hurricane during that time.

Thanks for your concern jerryn, thankfully we acted quickly and there were no serious damage except the skylight, and the mess! But we were indeed lucky to come out of it so lightly. I always see on the news the terrible hurricanes in Florida. I pray this year it won't be too bad.

Spot on tetchie! We have never seen wind like this before, and we are a summer rain fall area, we hardly get any rain in winter, and it is bitterly cold, my husband had to go and buy a heater! In my 24 years in this town this is a first for me. The day before, the temperature was a nice 24C and it dropped overnight to 11C which for Richards Bay is unheard of! The insurance is another story, they will find some way to try and discredit us. I think they are going to say the pole was corroded, or that it was too close to the skylight, will have to wait and see.

Oh it is terrible! My daughter just returned from Goa and she was telling me about the terrible floods in Mumbai! The whole weather pattern is screwed up all over the world!

I was wondering what happened to you! I'm sorry to hear it is going a bit hectic with you in real life, hope nothing serious! Thanks for your concern my friend. xx

Im still here :), and thanks Annie, nothing serious, just very busy with work and family...

Yes we are very fortunate, thank you for your concern JeffMoney, xx
